5 places in East London to work for free when your are a freelance

A lot of us here, in Canal Studios, started in the kitchen table or looked for free places to work. When you start a business or as freelance it's challenging to start renting, because your income isn't steady, just yet.

We have collected our favourite five places to work in East London:

The Ace Hotel

This is a great place to work and hold a meeting with your new clients. Their lobby is glamorous and comfortable with sofas and tables. They also have a nice restaurant at the back with excellent food, coffee and juices.

It is located in the heart of Shoreditch, with lots of places around for an after work drinks and cute independent shops to window shopping at your lunch break.

Google campus can get quite busy, so it's best to go early. This place is excellent because it isn't accessible if you are not registered, which makes it safer.

A lot of young entrepreneurs spend their days sitting and starting up their new businesses. You can also go to their free talks and workshops. It's a fascinating place that you can get a lot of value from it, at no price.
